Im looking to replace a retroreflective Photoeye with a throughbeam or light curtain. The retroreflective eye is causing some issues with reflective tape on boxes so i want to eliminate this problem. 42EF-P2MPB-F4 is the part number for my photoeye. Standard M12 connection running to an allen bradley SIO module, 24vdc PNP sensor. Im just not sure which specs are important when finding a replacement. And if my replacement is a throughbeam sensor, i have questions as to what additional changes would be required. I would then need an additional M12 cable for the extra powered device. And just not sure what that looks like in the logic. If studio would require any changes due to the extra cable, or how would i provide power to that additional device (transmitter/receiver)--- Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am a controls technician but still a little green in my second year.
